Circle of Life
(This is based on my short-story with the same title. I hope you enjoy it)
Once, in a dense wood
A rock split a vast river
Looking like a throne
A frog sat on it
I am king! Croaked the frog
Gobbling a tiny bug
A sharp pain hit him
When a snake swallowed him whole
Some king! The snake scoffed
He felt a sharp pain
A falcon took him, smiling
She was the true king
A hunter took aim
The animals were silly
God smiled, ending his fate
